The stories range from ghosts on ships and in lighthouses to sea serpents and underwater spirits; from ships that "talk'' to their captains to spectres who dwell on the shore.
This is a not-so-serious investigation of truly believed superstitions and stories that have become a part of the lore of the Great Lakes from the early 1700s until present. Collected and set aside during years of the author's historical research, they are a part of the maritime tradition of the Great Lakes.
